PRE-MEDICAL

Getting In

Each professional school has its own specific course requirements for its program, all of which can be fulfilled at Dordt College. Visit the links page for additional information.

Most medical schools require applicants to take the Medical College Admissions Tests (MCAT). Performing well on this exam requires students to develop good study habits in college and to take a number of prerequisite courses. Visit the advising notes page for additional information.

Four out of five Dordt graduates get into medical school, most on their first application. Nationally only one in three are accepted.

Many of Dordt's graduates have been accepted at regional medical schools such as the University of Iowa, University of Minnesota (both Twin Cities and Duluth), Des Moines University, and the University of South Dakota. Others have gone to universities in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Alberta, and Ontario.
